Zanguei-me Com Meu Amor

I Quarreled With My Love

Zanguei-me Com Meu Amor

I quarreled with my loveZanguei-me com meu amor
Didn't see him all dayNão o vi em todo dia
At night I sang betterÀ noite cantei melhor
The fate of the neighborhood!O fado da mouraria!

The whisper of a longingO sopro duma saudade
Came to kiss me, hour by hourVinha beijar-me, hora a hora
To feel more comfortablePra ficar mais à vontade
I sent the longing away!Mandei a saudade embora!

In the morning, regretfulDe manhã, arrependida
I remembered him and started cryingLembrei-o e pus-me a chorar
Who loses love in lifeQuem perde o amor na vida
Should never sing!Jamais devia cantar!

When he returned to the nestQuando regressou ao ninho
He, who barely whistlesEle que mal assobia
Came to whistle softlyVinha assobiar baixinho
The fate of the neighborhood!O fado da Mouraria!
